Thing is even when the pattern relaxes a touch it still seems to go back to it's early winter track more often than not. I am not saying it will be the only thing I look at. just saying I will not ignore it anymore.  And we have been been the beneficiary of it before. Especially 09/10

Problem is nothing is 100%.  Not every season has a consistent pattern and there are anomalies even within seasons that do. Examples 2015 the snow jack zone suddenly shifted to us mid Feb after being in New England.  2014 those two snows in March jacked VA after the whole season was jacking MD and southern PA. 2018 I was in the snow hole then got a 14” storm.  There is something to persistence but without knowing when it’s about to end or which storms are the anomalies it’s hard to use it effectively.

I mean when absolutely no other model showed what it showed and they all caved to IT.

It did once in 2007 or 2008. Every single model was showing a 3-6” snow from a little boundary wave at only 24 hours out. And the NAM had nothing. The wave never developed and it shows just some snow showers. NAM was right. There was no wave.

Apparently, it got Dec 2009 right first according to some here.

Dec. 2009? While I think the other models had snow too, the NAM the day before was the first to show the beatdown IIRC

Boxing Day (but in the other direction lol)

Not Dec 17, 2009. That was well modeled for over a week.  I followed Howard Bernstein at that time.  He was really good at explaining the phasing.

February 3rd into 4th 2007 Norlun trough all models has zero Nam nailed a band 25 miles north and south and 90 miles east southeast from Lancaster Pa to Ocean City Nj picking up 4-12”. 

So about 3 or 4 times in 25 years.

We're so back baby!  In like 55 minutes, we gonna be popping the champagne corks.  Or cyanide.   Likely cyanide.

I thought that one was a general 2-4/3-6" storm on the models until the NAM suddenly gave us a HECS, but it's been so long I could be confusing it with another event around that time. This was back when I was on Accuweather forums so there's no way for me to check now.

Going to be a fun battle, its the Ecmwf, Gfs. Cmc, rgem, Icon, hrdps,  ukmet, fv3 hires, Jma, Navgem and 3km Nam vs the 12km Nam, Brime Trucks and CVS.

Also the highway signs on 95 in VA flashing “winter weather on Wednesday, prepare accordingly”….i don’t think that means what they think it means.
